Pattern optimization of compound optical film for uniformity improvement in liquid-crystal displays

The density dynamic adjustment algorithm (DDAA) is designed to efficiently promote the uniformity of the integrated backlight module (IBLM) by adjusting the microstructures' distribution on the compound optical film (COF), in which the COF is constructed in the SolidWorks and simulated in the TracePro. In order to demonstrate the universality of the proposed algorithm, the initial distribution is allocated by the Bezier curve instead of an empirical value. Simulation results maintains that the uniformity of the IBLM reaches over 90% only after four rounds. Moreover, the vertical and horizontal full width at half maximum of angular intensity are collimated to 24 deg and 14 deg, respectively. Compared with the current industry requirement, the IBLM has an 85% higher luminance uniformity of the emerging light, which demonstrate the feasibility and universality of the proposed algorithm.
